[For the end, among the Hymns, a Psalm for Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian.][1]God is known in Judea: his name is great in Israel.[2]And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.[3]There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Pause.[4]Thou dost wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.[5]All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands.[6]At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered.[7]Thou art terrible; and who shall withstand thee, because of thine anger?[8]Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,[9]when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek in heart. Pause.[10]For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to thee: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to thee.[11]Vow, and pay your vows to the Lord our God; all that are round about him shall bring gifts, even to him that is terrible,[12]and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible among the kings of the earth.
